My only regret was not deleting all my comments before deleting my reddit account :P

Don’t regret too much. I wouldn’t be surprised if reddit’s “delete” function was really just "move to the “suckers-wanted-to-delete-this” file.

Good idea for those who are covered by the GDPR. Doesn’t help me, though.

Good news, Reddit’s crap ass infra doesn’t differentiate if a GDPR request is legitimate or spurious. Or at least it didn’t back when I processed mine, they may have closed that loophole
